Homemade Gift Ideas – Thank You Gifts
The end of the school year is drawing near…time to find gifts for our teachers dear!
Check out my list of budget friendly thank you gifts ($5 or less!) perfect for teachers, team moms, neighbors, friends & family!
Glass Bottle with M&M’s & a Daisy: this can be a simple glass bottle that you’ve recycled or for a few dollars you can buy a bottle with a pourer that can later be used as a dishsoap dispenser or an olive oil bottle. Walmart, Target, Ross & Homegoods sell the bottles with pourers for $3 – $4.
Shamrock Plant: include a sign that says “lucky to have you!” These also make nice gifts for volunteers!
Shamrock Charm: add a note that says “lucky to have you!” CharmFactory.com is a great source for inexpensive sterling silver charms…$3 – $5 for most! Another perfect volunteer gift!
Casserole: don’t under estimate the power of a homemade casserole especially for a teacher or a working mom!
Sweets: do you bake a cake that everybody loves? Make this your “signature” dessert and bake it for birthdays or thank you gifts!
Box Lunch: e-mail your child’s teacher today, and let them know you’re bringing them a box lunch on ________. Now…find a pretty box or gift bag, make a special sandwich or wrap, bake some cookies, and add chips, fruit & a drink! What a treat!

You can make a goodies basket with Christmas recipes,a card holder to hold index recipe cards, chocolate covered cherries,a little photo album with pictures of your choir with little saying in it. You might find neat little crafts at a craft store for all of the above.A little Christmas trees with ornaments.Find pine cones and sprinkle with glue and glitter for hanging on a Christmas tree.You can get red and white pipe cleaners to make candy canes. you also can get pipe cleaners and make reindeer’s on candy canes.I hope this gives you some ideas.
If you don’t like any of your gifts, handmade or shop-bought, why not donate them to a charity thrift store rather than tossing them in the trash? The items will be used by someone who wants or needs them, the giver won’t be insulted, and you won’t be sending usable goods to take up space in the land fill. You can even take a tax deduction for the charitable donation.
I can’t tell you how much I would have loved to have a parent pack a boxed lunch for me when I taught! Great idea!
It’s great to get “approval” from a teacher! Thanks for reading The Budget Diet!
